Skoda Octavia Estate 2.0 TSI vRS 5dr DSG Review
Category: Estate car
Section: Version review

The Octavia Estate offers a vast boot considering its size, and generous space for occupants. It's far more than just a big box on wheels, though. The relatively plush interior, generally cosseting ride and frugal engines make it a fantastic car for covering big distances in. The iV plug-in hybrid makes financial sense for company car users.
The trim
See full equipmentThere’s no mistaking a vRS for any other Octavia, thanks to its big 19in wheels, more aggressive styling and black detailing. Inside you’ll find vRS-branded, heated front sports seats, Alcantara trim, aluminium pedals, a black headlining and a heated sports steering wheel with perforated leather. Toys include adaptive LED headlights, keyless entry and start, two-zone climate control, ambient LED lighting and a 10.0in touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and sat-nav.
The engine
See full engine specsDespite coming with front-wheel drive only, the 2.0 TSI 245 gets the vRS from 0-62mph in a respectable 6.8sec.
